Re: [cdi-dev] async: back to completion future?

I am really confused now. Why shouldn't Java EE concurrency not be able to define a standard way to configure custom executors? You can do that today, just in vendor specific ways...

Typically if you take @Asynchronous (EJB spec) you have already this issue and this is often avoided when portability matters for that particular reason you don't know how you will behave.
